Manny Ramirez goes back to work for the Dodgers on Friday after missing 50 games for violating the MLB substance abuse policy. No big deal, right?
Like A-Rod, Clemens & other cheaters Manny is about Manny. Rules of the road do not apply to him. We see it all the time. Talent lets you get away with things others are not allowed to do. Even the Red Sox, who made excuse after excuse for Manny for years, had to finally let him go.
When will it stop? To be honest, never. Pro sports are built around winning. If a player helps you win, management will put up with all the bad to get those wins. Wins equates to money. And money makes the pro sports world go round & round.
Not many heroes for kids anymore.

It is not just pro sports that are built around winning. Little League, Pop Warner, High School all promote the winning at all costs mentality. The talented kids are taught from day one that they are different, and often that rules can be bent opr broken. SB
